THE IRON AND STEEL WORKERS.

The Twelfth Annual Convention Well At

tended and 801110 listdical Changes Are

Kxppctod to lie Made in llie Wage Scale.

The Opening Program Slightly Changed.

Only Iloutine Work Accomplished.

CLKVELAND, May 22.—The twelfth annual convention of the Amalgamated 1 Association of Iron and Steel Workers of America "was called to order in Meniorial hall by President Garland yesterday, with about 100 delegates present. A "large ntSuiber of delegates had not arrived when the meeting came to order, but it was probable that at least 250 will be in attendance by tomorrow.

According to the program prepared the morning session was to have been an open one with addresses by Mayor Mclvisson and Mr. .1. H. Hoyt. Owing, 1 however, to various reasons, the pain,.: I meeting was postponed until afternoon and the convention immediately went into executive session.

Among the rules adopted to govern the convention was one which provides tii.it any delegare other than the secretary. upon being convicted of giving out information concerning the work of I the convention to the newspapers, shall be liable to expulsion.

President Garland appointed committees on iron wage, steel wage, president I unci officers? constitution and general laws auditing, ways and means and uppropria!ions good of order, grievances, claims and appeals secret work and mileage. I 1 When the convention took a recess at 110011 the delegates stated that the session had been devoted entirely to roatiuo business. The open meeting I was again postponed in the afternoon, and the convention again went into executive session. The entire afternoon session was devoted to hearing the annual report of President Garland. I The general sentiment which apparently prevails among the delegates is that this convention will be the most important in the history of the organization. "The association," said Secretary Gilgalon, "was never in such a goo position to hold a convention. While the convention will be numerically weak, the hard times preventing a full attendance, the strength of the amalgamation as represented was never so strong. Heretofore there have been dis(tensions among some classes of the trade not being adequately represented. This year the situation is entirely changed,

Tlie association has gained in strength, I and has extended to every branch of iron and steel workers. What we will do I can not say nor predict. The revival of trade will have a tendency to I make this convention tlie most iniport ant ever held, and the most successful."

The feeling that there will be some radical changes made in tlie wage scale appears to be apparent. The delegates

selves in any manner. President Garland was shown a dispatch from Pittsburg stating that a new organization was about to be formed in that city which would be independent of the Amalgamated association. "I don't believe that there is anything in it," said he, "and if a union of any kind is contemplated in those mills I think it is merely a preliminary step to get a foothold in the Amalgamated association. If the}" do not join our organization we would not consider them antagonistic. If they feel that they must receive union wages, they recognize as as the leading spirit among iron and steel workers and consequeutly will naturally be glad to join us. I We can't blame the men because they desire union wages. They are working on a scale which is considerably below the amalgamated scale, and there is a possibility of their evincing a disposition to form a union."

MINERS MAKING A FIGHT.

Every lillort ISeing M:ule lo Get Sixty-Nino Cents Per Ton. I

PITTKKUKH, May 22.—The miners of this district are making a desperate I fight in the face of their defeat in their strike for G'J cents per ton. Yesterday the officials succeeded in calling out about. 1,500 men on tlie Chartiers branch of the Pan Handle railroad, and all the mines of that section are closed.

The mines on the Wheeling division of tlu Baltimore and Ohio road are running in full, however, and it is generally conceded that the strike is lo.Vt. But the officials of the United Mine. Workers are trying to get the men out along the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio, and on Thursday they will at

GASCOGNE AGAIN OVERDUE.

Bhe Has

Steerage Passengers.

NK\v YOKK, May 22.—The French line

steamship La Gascogne, which left Havre for this port at noon May 11, and was due to arrive Sunday morning last, had not yet been sighted. It is now belioved that something beyond wind and sea and fog has delayed the French line I steamship.

Bm whatever causes have conspired to keep her at sea so long, no one yet feels fear for her. This is shown conelusively by the rate of insurance oi hull and cargo, an index which marks invariably tlie rise in apprehension when a vessel fails to appear on schedule 1 time. At the agent's office here there I are few inquiries. The general belief "'11 New Yoric is that La Gascogne's engmes have played her false again, and that she is knocking about below the steamer line while her engineers tinker her up a bit.

None of the trans-Atlantic liners which came up yesterday saw anything of the La Gascogne, although the Scandia and tlie Stuttgart from Gerinau ports, traveled in the course usually pursued by her. Under ordinary circumstances tlie French boat should have overtaken them. Captain Baudelon, who commanded La Gascogne last winter, is still aboard. The engineer is Debars, who was first assistant to Engineer Martin last winter. The cargo of the steamship is valued at about

There are 95 cabin and 40'J

steerage passengers aboard.

Ovfr live Hundred Passenger.-* Oil l5o:ird.

PA His. May 22.—Inquiries made here at the oftices of the (Jompagnie Gen- I erale Transatlantique siiow that: La I Gascogne, which sailed from Havre for Now York

011

May 11, and which is I

now about three days late, has on board 'Jo saloon passengers and has 40'J passengers in the steerage. The officials of the French line are not in any way alarmed at flu fact that La Gascogne has not arrived 011 time. In spite of this fact, friends and relatives of the passengers of La Gascogne after hearing that, the steamship was late in arriving at New York began making inquiries at tlie offices of the Coinpaguie Generale Transatlantique.

Probably Delayed by Ice.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 22.—Nothing has been heard here of La Gascogne. Mariners think possibly she is embayed in the ice and unable to work her way through, or may be lias struck a floating church iceberg. There are great quntities of ice off the Newfoundland coast now. The steamer Ulnnda, upon her arrival here, reported passing (io large icebergs. The Alien liner Carth.:geuiaii also met a good deal of ice.

J11 Port in Distress.

QI'KKNKTOWN, May 22.—The German steamer liispania, Capt.1.11 Kulin, from Hamburg, witn 200 passengers aboard, has pat into thj* port 111 distress, after encountering -\®jy heavy weather.

TWO GIRL-S DISAPPEAR.

Tlie liody of One of Them Fished Out of a Kiver, Iintieal injr Foul Play. ST. JUSKPIX, Mo., May 22.—Several

days ago Ada and May Wolfenberg,

daughters of the proprietor of the Midway hotel at Oregon, mysteriously disappeared Yesterday fishermen using a seme 111 the Missouri river near here brought up the body of Ada. The arms of the girl were pinioned behind her and her limbs were bound together with a strong cord. There was other evidence of foul play. 'The body apparently had been in the water three days or more.

Further dragging of the riven* failed to reveal the bod)* of M.ay, but the search will be continued. Completo mystery surrounds the case. Ic is supposed the girls were enticed away from .home and murdered, after first being ravished. Great excitement prevails over the affair. The best detectives that can be secured will immediately go to work on tiie ease.

.Murderers Disi'nvered.

CONKTANTJNOPLK, May 22.— Advices received here from Armenia saying that tlie names of live Kurds wno are said to be tlie murderers of Frank G. Lenz of Pittsburg, who was killed while attempting to ride around tlie world on a bicycle, are known. It is announced that William A. Sachtlenen, who lias gone, in search ot the missing bicyclist, in tlie hope of recovering his body or obtaining dciiuite information as to the cause of his disappearance, has arrived at Erzeroum.

Ex-t'onsul Waller's Case.

NKAV YOKK, May 22.—A Washington dispatch to a local paper sa}"s: Tlie French government, acceding to the demand of the United States, has transferred the case of ex-Consul John Waller to ordinary civil jurisdiction This action apparently nullifies tlie sen-

Waller by tlie French military court

in Madagascar, and indicates either his trial 1)3' the civil judiciary or his ultimate release from prison.
